QUOTE(dr914@autoatlanta.com @ Sep 9 2010, 03:36 PM)  Sean at our shop. George, Thanks- I will consider that. If it would help I can supply more pics and info to get a rough idea, but i know he just needs to see it. Rescued the car 1 year ago- not running parked for a while, got it running but not up to par yet. I did some improve/repair/replace on shocks,springs etc in rear all the fuel (d-jet) hoses and lines from you guys, Has 128,000, probably fairly accurate from records. Just found this stuff as i was getting under the car to get a good look at it to replace the old h.e.'s(just ordered the new muffler hanger from you yesterday.) I am afraid to take the rockers off, i know the right side has problems there as the jack connection at the rocker is rusted loose. but overall, worth fixing i think. the trunk does not have any rust, and neither does the engine bay or battery tray areas. we are probably talking about some long repair, part of the rear floor pan and those jack points for sure. I am 5 hours away, and would probably have to trailer it up. how much heads up to get it scheduled to get in your shop? Thanks Phil |

The rear jack points are one of the easiest repairs provided that is the only part that needs replacing. Why not clean up the area with a wire brush attachment on your grinder to get a better idea of the situation?

Good idea- will do , its up right now - ive been replacing the h.e., s waiting on the exhaust to arrive, could get a better idea on that. we do have a local machine shop/welding-body shop - i know one of the guys there. could do this if it's straight forward. phil |

To give you an idea here is a pic of a new rear post welded in.
 The Donut came with the new bracket. |

The old jack post came off pretty easily once the old welds were drilled out. |
